I was new to linux and really want to say goodbye to Microsoft Windows.My machine is Fujitsu s6010 with intel 82830M chip sets. I try to install fedora 11 on to my machine.It's seem every things smooth due to the period of installation.But when the machine performed the first boot I've found something wrong with the display.It was flash for times and finally can speak out very soon.I check it out the 'vesa' driver was specified in xorg.conf in device section.I try to connect the second monitor as I was experienced it's completely work in Microsoft Windows. But bolth screen were gone.They turn black out.I'd like to know how to make fedora 11 get the right vga drivers for my machine like we did in Microsoft Windows. How can I do that?

I hope someone could give me the simple way to solve this problem soon.
thank!

It is supposed to be auto detected.

#su
#system-config-display

hi amani

First I'd like to give you a pressure thank for giving suggestion.But I found that system-config-display could not be found in my system.What can I do to get this utility or another that works similar?

Still hope and wait for your suggestion


thank!

#yum update
#yum install system-config-display

(Basically you seem to need a custom /etc/X11/xorg.conf )

The Intel chipset should have been detected during the install, and the correct driver (intel or i845) added to your xorg.conf file. I have, however, noted a problem with theintel drivers: They sometimes incorrectly read the hardware settings from your monitor(s), and, consequently, attempt to use them with incorrect refresh rates. (This is especially troublesome on my Intel system when I use a 22" LSD display. When I use an 18" display the driver works with no problem.)

I'm on another system (a nVidia loptop) right now, but, when I can get to it, I'll post the relevant stanzas from that system's xorg.conf to this thread.

Note that, by default, Fedora will not use any xorg.conf file, relying, instead, on the X-servers "autodetect" feature. You can use the command Xorg -configure to create an xorg.conf file in your current working directory that you can edit and move to /etc/X11/ for use when you reboot the X-server.

Oh, re my "reboot the X-server" comment, you should also note that the default value of the DontZap server option has been change to "yes" so the usual ctrl-alt-backspace key combination will not work to reboot the server unless you add that option to the "ServerFlags" stanza.

See man Xorg and man xorg.conf for details.
